Tropical Storm Nadine has maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and is moving east-southeast at 8 mph. A turn toward the southeast is expected on Friday. Its minimum central pressure is 981 millibars or 28.97 inches.

A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Azores.

Little change in strength is forecast during the next 48 hours, but Nadine could become a post-tropical cyclone in a day or two.

Meanwhile, farther west in the Atlantic Ocean, shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a nontropical low pressure system about 600 miles east of Bermuda has changed little in organization since this afternoon.

Conditions appear favorable for gradual development during the next day or so, before upper-level winds become less conducive on Saturday. This system has a high chance, 60 percent, of becoming a subtropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves west-northwest at about 10 mph.
